ESA Space Solutions is providing funding for assessing business and technical feasibility of new, space-based services related to Green Buildings. The activities will be 100% funded up to €200K per activity.
OPPORTUNITY
Green buildings are structures that have an environmentally responsible and resource-efficient life cycle, from design to construction, operation to maintenance, and renovation to deconstruction.
The European Space Agency’s “Green Buildings” opportunity offers support and funding to companies looking to develop services for sustainable built environments that can benefit from using space-based data. This opportunity enables companies to carry out in-depth analyses on the technical feasibility and economic viability of applications across a range of themes.
KEY FOCUS AREAS
Monitoring a building’s energy consumption and environmental impact
Using sensors and smart monitoring technologies to anticipate problems (natural hazards, land deformation)
Analysing a buildings’ surrounding natural (sun, soil, wind, water) and built (roads, local transportation) environment.
3D and offsite construction
Retrofitting existing buildings to improve energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, and lessen negative environmental impacts.
